I’m waiting for a flight at Fort Lauderdale. The airport now has free wireless in the terminal. I’ll be flying into LA today, then driving to Phoenix tomorrow for the conference. Probably not much posting today, but I’ll check in tonight. Hope to see some of y’all in sunny Arizona.
By The Numbers
Anyone still fantasizing that this is a conservative administration should note this particular appointment of a woman who wants to set up quotas for men and women in math and science classes.
At least they put the kibosh on it. For now.
Honoring The Dead
I’d forgotten that April 19th was the anniversary of more than one revolution. Sixty-three years ago tomorrow, the doomed Jews in the Warsaw ghetto rose up against their Nazi oppressors. Unfortunately, their revolution wasn’t successful, but at least they took many of the barbarians with them, and it once again displays the folly of disarming the citizenry.
Bubble Popped?

Housing starts are down, more than expected.
Just anecdotally, we’ve had several houses on our street for sale for months, and they’re not moving. One house down the street was on the market for almost seven hundred thousand last fall. It’s now for sale by the owner. He had marked it down to six something. Yesterday I noticed that the sign said “price reduced” and the flyer no long had a price.
I also noted that Zillow has dropped its estimate of our house in east Boca Raton over the past few months, by about ten percent.
Saddam And Osama…

The Midnight Ride
Two hundred and thirty one years ago today, Paul Revere protected the right to bear arms, making his famous ride to warn the countryside around Boston that the British were marching to confiscate their guns (tomorrow will be the anniversary of the battles of Lexington and Concord). It’s ironic to note that that city now has some of the strictest gun control laws in the country. Perhaps it’s time for another revolution up there.
